Track 1
Quick, Repeatable Setups. You mean we need both?
Thomas F. Warda
Eastman Kodak Company
Abstract: Quick setups are an absolute requirement for true lean manufacturing. Many people have managed to reduce their setup times so they can make smaller batches, but now have problems with increased lot-to-lot variability. Wouldn’t it be nice to reduce setup times and actually reduce that variability? Tom will share a proven process and real life examples of how Kaizen teams at Kodak have done just that – with amazing and entertaining results.
